Strange incident while taking photos in the Lost Forty SNA

The witness was alone photographing old pines around noon when loud banging and knocking began after a car horn sounded. About 15 minutes later a large birch about 20 to 30 feet away was heard cracking, seen bending down and then springing back upright. The witness did not see any creature, feared an animal larger than a bear, ran back to the car, and inferred something had been in the tree watching.

Woman and friend watch a tall animal walk oddly across a mine hill in Calumet

The witness and a companion were sitting on a porch in clear afternoon light when they saw a tall figure walk across the top of a nearby iron ore hill past a lone tree. They described long limbs, arms swinging with each stride, and a slightly hunched upper back during about 40 seconds of observation. Afterwards they felt no ordinary person could have covered that distance so quickly or appeared so tall at that distance, and concluded they had seen a bigfoot.

Three people were fishing quietly from a boat near shore at dusk when they heard a loud scream from the treeline past a point.

Warm weather melted the snow by the next day and the location could not be relocated.

Bigfoot howls heard near NE corner of Chippewa National Forest

The witness was on a cabin deck in the evening before sunset when they heard a very loud, long howl coming from the east. The sound occurred 2 or 3 times and was described as louder and longer than a wolf could make. The witness went inside to get another person to listen but believes they were the only one who heard it.
